Oh, How Miami Has Fallen

[Irishfan]

Why do ND fans come to football message boards and act arrogant?

You aren't the AD, you are just a fan of the team. You get that, right?

I come here because I have relatives that went to UConn. I like to talk football with them, even though it seems like I have been to more UConn games than they have been to. And no, I am not the AD, I am just a fan of the team ( if Notre Dame is the team you were talking about) but a fan that goes to all the home games and usually at least one away game. But I also check out forums for BC and Michigan in addition to UConn because I have friends that went to both of these schools as well. It’s actually unusual to see someone get so upset with a poster that seems to disagree with them.

I think the posters here are mostly male. Muffet doesn’t want us caring about women’s basketball

I think she would love to have more male fans. But I think she realizes that it will probably never happen, at least not to the degree that she would like.

so all the top football teams are dead to you. Do you think most UConn fans feel that way?

Don’t care. We beat you on your field on senior day. We’ve won 4 mbb championships in 15 years, and 11 in wbb over 25 years. I’ve seen much better results than you have. I can die happy never playing ND again.

There was probably some tie to someone at BG When the game was scheduled, but Probably not associated with women’s basketball.

BG was not tied to WBB, Really? No kidding.

I could have gone through the last 10 years (UMass, Miami of OH, Nevada, Ball State, Temple to name a few more over the past five) of ND football scheduling and you are just going to come up with some lame reason the game was scheduled that isn’t related to WBB. It’s silly. Other lesser schools offer other reasons- of course - and it certainly wont be WBB. However, as it pertains to UConn, what it can offer to separate itself from others interested in being the 11th or 12th filler type game on the ND schedule is WBB. So yes, WBB is pretty likely to be part of a discussion. At least, it’s there if that helps and it’s not out of the realm that it could help.

Anyone that thinks WBB will be used to get a regular football series with ND is crazy, but anyone that thinks WBB can’t be part of the discussion when trying to do a one and done every 8-12 years is nuts too. Of course it can be part of the discussion and would certainly elevate us over say booking UMass or Nevada again.

The possible arrival of an eight team playoff has P5 teams strengthening future schedules according to these sources...

Expected playoff expansion, decreased attendance have college football teams strengthening schedules

Have to love the Yard - come to read what folks are saying about the U and maybe our old OC, but am forced to read drivel about WBB and ND, mostly from an unemployed guy who spends his days posting on other teams boards. Will this nightmare that is UConn football never end?

You think some schools actually consider Women’s basketball to be at a level where it could impact the football teams? Interesting.

Not only that but I'm sure UConn can leverage their perennial title contender field hockey team also.
Now go back to the wbb board and take that other knucklehead Hank with you. You two come here for no other purpose but to troll.
